The homeless have set up an encampment, which I am sure the city is aware of. They are leaving trash, including needles, as well as disrupting people trying to enter into the Switchyard Park system. It seems incredible to me that after all the money pumped into this project that this is what the city wants people to encounter as they try to enter the park. Please have this situation resolved.
My Father, Mother and two sisters are buried at Rosehill Cemetery. I went to visit their grave last week. The condition around the grave and the grave stone was terrible. It included very spotty grass and a hole that appeared to be a cave in. The headstones also had lichen growing on them. How do I have someone properly maintain the headstones and my family plot?
LARGE DOG PARK: While drainage has been added and temporary fencing put in, one section of fencing (the smaller one) does not encompass all of the water problem. The last time we brought our dog here she ran into the mud puddles (multiple times) and drank the water, which has previously made her sick. We will not go back until we hear it has been fixed completely.
The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.
My name is Lauren and I am the facilities manager at Middle Way House. Yesterday afternoon I found a gas string trimmer tucked behind some bushes in our garden bed. This seemed suspicious so I brought it inside. Does this belong to the landscaping crew?
Poison hemlock at SW corner of large dog park. This invasive plant is toxic to dogs and people. Please spray or manually remove ASAP. Thank you!
Large tree branch down in Butler Park, at the entrance from the BLine side, near the westernmost shelter.
A branch fell off of a tree onto the fence and basketball court in Broadview Park. Thank you so much!
There are some racy graffitis tagged near the pile of limestone on the early history trail in RCA park, one depicting a nude female body, one saying ‘penis is very small’. There might be more but I just saw those.
Physical safety issues on playground at Switchyard Park. There are large sharp-edged rocks next to the two concrete slides separated by slippery artificial grass. I watched as small children tried to climb these rocks with no railings to hold on to, or as they tried to go up the grassy area next to the rocks and slides. This is a disaster waiting to happen! I was alarmed that a child was going to fall off the rocks or onto the sharp edges. I saw several children bump their heads on the concrete edge of the slides as they landed hard. Both of these issues need immediate attention. There needs to be a padding strip on the slides at the bottom. The large sharp-edged rocks need to be removed and steps with a railing installed on both sides of the slides.
